Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus: Shadow Commander of Autobot ForcesMagnus never wanted to be a solider. He was drafted early on in Prime's vicious campaign which stretched out across Cybertron. Early days of serving under Prime's command were extremely dangerous and commanders had a way of turning up, 'deactivated'. Occasionally, this was Prime's temper flaring, but more often than not, it was an ambitious subordinate creating career opportunity for himself.

Magnus became convinced that making his name something to be feared, much like Prime's was, was the only path to staying alive. He began picking fights, publicly and then savagely dismantling his opposition. The more frequently he fought, the more Autobots rallied around him, eager for the show.

The Decepticons took to calling him 'Nemesis Prime'. It became almost a joke that he would eventually be responsible for more Autobot casualties than Starscream and Megatron together.

Prime sought to correct this. Admiring pure brutality was one thing, but this 'Ultra' Magnus' as his own troops were fond of calling him, was starting to create a leadership vacuum. Just when Prime began to contemplate how exactly he could remove this highly capable threat to his leadership, Magnus approached him with an offer...

'Engineer armor for me, fueled by anti-nucleon and I will disappear from your ranks, only to come back at your call. I'm no solider Prime...but I'm a damn good killer.'

Prime could see the offer clearly -Grant me my freedom, or we find out if I really am your nemesis-.

The bargain struck, the armor carefully crafted at great risk to those involved, and Magnus, the Shadow Commander of the Autobots, disappeared into the nightmares of the Decepticons.

He doesn't join in the fun, he's spent the last few years with dodgy builds feeding XP to the Autobots, and he sure as heck doesn't spam. disruptor96: I forgot how insane you were.
